Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Pakenham

At Goodstart Pakenham, each and every educator is dedicated to the care and development of children, through inclusive relationships and high quality learning. Welcoming children from 6 weeks to 6 years, the team delivers engaging programs that cater to individual interests, strengths and needs, while nurturing courage, and resilience.

Developed in line with the Early Years’ Learning Framework, the warm and comfortable interior features natural timber furniture, colourful décor, and a rich array of learning resources. A vibrant pet ownership program helps children learn about animals including blue tongue lizards and baby turtles. Children can also borrow books from the centre library. 

The playground areas feature bike paths, cubby houses and sandpits, with wonderful natural elements including a rock pool, dry creek bed, worm farm and vegetable garden. To help nurture good health and physical development, the centre proudly provides free swimming lessons for kindergarten children at the neighbouring Cardinia Leisure Centre.
